{"product_id":"labadi-sweater","title":"Labadi Sweater","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Labadi Sweater, also affectionately known as \"Team Cardi C Sweater\", is inspired by the team challenge on GOW where Simon and I created a cabled cardigan, which included the Sandwind cable pattern. The Labadi Sweater is named after Labadi beach in Accra, Ghana, which has absolutely stunning scenery. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Labadi Sweater is a top down drop shoulder sweater, designed with 20-25cm of positive ease. The Pattern begins by working the yoke flat, starting with the back panel and then picking up stitches for the right and left front. Once the left and right front are long enough, they are joined in the round. You will then work the main body of the sweater with the cable pattern, finishing with 4cm of 1x1 twisted rib. Stitches for the sleeves are then picked up and the cable pattern established. Some sizes will then work some gentle decreases to shape the sleeve. Finally you will work a 1x1 twisted rib collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished measurements in cm \u0026amp; inches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes: 1(2,3,4,5)\u003cstrong\u003e[6,7,8,9]\u003c\/strong\u003e to fit chest circumference\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChest circumference:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e98 (109, 120, 131, 142) [152.5, 163.5, 174.5, 185.5] cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e38.75 (43, 47.25, 51.5, 55.75) [60.25, 64.5, 68.75, 73] in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 - 25cm\/7.75-10 inches of positive ease\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCross shoulder width:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e52.5 (52.5, 52.5, 52.5, 58) [58, 58, 58, 63.5] cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20.75 (20.75, 20.75, 20.75, 23) [23, 23, 23, 25] in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpper arm circumference: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e32.5 (38, 38, 43.5, 46.5) [49, 52, 57.5, 57.5] cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13 (15, 15, 17.25,18.25) [19.25, 20.5, 22.5, 22.5] in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmhole depth: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e19 (19.75, 20.5, 21.25, 23) [23.75, 24.5, 25.25, 25.25] cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7.5 (7.75, 8.125, 8.375, 9) [9.375, 9.625, 9.875, 9.875] in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront neck depth:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 8.5 (8.5, 8.5, 8.5, 10) [10, 10, 10, 11.5] cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.25 (3.25, 3.25, 3.25, 4) [4, 4, 4, 4.5]in without collar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody length from underarm: 40 cm\/15.75in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve Length from underarm: 46 cm\/18.25\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEase:\u003c\/strong\u003e This pattern has been graded with  20 - 25cm\/7.75-10 inches positive ease.
